Le Quattro VoIte (The Four Times) is an ineffably beautifuI meditation on the mysterious cycles of life. Set in Italy's mountainous region of Calabria, it traces the path of one goat-herder's soul, as it passes from human to animal to vegetabIe to mineraI. Director MichelangeIo Frammartino was inspired by Pythagoras' beIief in ''four-fold transmigration'' of souIs, but his film is far more physical than philosophicaI. ln gorgeous Iong takes he captures the daiIy routines of the herder, a baby goat, an imperious tree and a humbIe charcoaI kiln. PIus there is a scene-stealing cameo from a stubborn sheepdog, who hilariously interrupts an Easter Procession. Working as both a spiritual investigation and a documentary of Calabrian Iife, Le Quattro Volte's placid surface hides a compIex understanding of humanity. Everything is connected in Frammartino's subIimeIy mystical universe, in which he finds both humor and pathos in the hypnotic rhythms of everyday Iife. |
